If ever you find any on your side of the world let me know! :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Lalaine! Check out MarketMan's post as he prepared it that way too! And lots of the commenters mentioned eating it with tulingan :) I can imagine how delicious it would be!

(Haven't had raw pajo in decades so I've forgotten what it feels like to the bite.)<BR/><BR/>Joey and MM: here is one of our food combinations at home: ginisang monggo (with chicharon or bagnet bits as part of the guisa) and burong pajo as garnish!

Mmmm….<BR/><BR/>Hi Katrina! I hear ya! I just associate mangoes with summer, but from no special knowledge on my part. I just got a bunch of strawberries and they are good :) In Europe, over and over again, I was faced with that…I guess since it’s hot most of the time here we can’t wait for the perfect weather setting before eating something…or we may never get to eat what we want! Haha! :) Imagine, we would only have sinigang and nilaga in December, if at all!<BR/><BR/>Hi Veron! I love the Baguio strawberries! We have imported ones now as well…big specimens and very expensive. But I still love the Baguio ones best! I have just bought a bunch and if you were here we could share it with some whipped cream or mashed into some milk :) Paho is generally smaller than indian mangoes…I love those too though, with bagoong, you said it! Yum!<BR/><BR/>Hello Anonymous person! Thanks for leaving a comment! You are brave to bring all those bottles back to NYC but I say…more power to you my friend! :) Hmmm, you’re right, it is quite the effort peeling them…I actually don’t know why I peeled them. I think I just went ahead and prepped them and didn’t think about it as much as I should have…Ack! Oh well…thanks for pointing that out :) Next time it’ll be easier, heehee!<BR/><BR/>Hi Suzana! It’s strawberry time here too :) Cherries though as still imported to our shores…<BR/><BR/>Hello Maybahay! I love cute food! Hehe, but I also love the sourness :) I’m always on MarketManila for his market updates!<BR/><BR/>Hi Kalyn! Thanks! Yes come over and be entertained by our fruits! And bring some figs and berries for me ok? Heehee :) Wow, I’ve never been to Beijing….soon I hope! Best thing about WHB is discovering all the new herbs/veg/plant/fruit from ever corner of the world!<BR/><BR/>Hi Marketman! Haha! Oh, I wasn’t hinting really…but since you mentioned it, heehee ;) That would be beyond awesome! Imagine it, with photos and anecdotes…it would be fantastic, not to mention super helpful :) If you need anything to help you get “hunkering” just holler!

(hence their prevalence on Valentine's menus every year), and that mangoes *used to* come in the summer. I say "used to" because unlike when I was a kid, we get mangoes all year-round now.<BR/><BR/>Once, when I was in the US in the summertime, someone said that at this time of year, they usually eat mostly sandwiches and the like, because it was too hot for a real full meal. I couldn't understand it, because it's hot almost all year here, and that doesn't stop us from eating a full-on meal every day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14448190.post-51635744798103934042008-03-11T16:38:00.000+08:002008-03-11T16:38:00.000+08:00my eyes squinted and lips puckered up just from re...my eyes squinted and lips puckered up just from reading this entry...oh what a sour delight :PChefspirationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10413619580227287450noreply@blogger.com
